2What Is Biotechnology?
- Roots in the distant past
- Term coined in 1919 by Karl Ereky all lines of
work by which products are produced from raw
materials with the aid of living organisms - Today Biotech term incorporating techniques
for using properties of living things to make
products or provide services
3History of Modern Biotechnology
- 1953 - Watson and Crick publish DNAs structure
- 1980 - U.S. patent for cloning genes awarded to
Cohen and Boyer - First biotech companies formed
- 1976 - Genentech 1981 - Immunex
- 1978 - Biogen 1981 - Chiron
- 1980 - Amgen 1981 - Genzyme
- 1982 - First biotech product launched in U.S.
- Humulin - recombinant human insulin
(Lilly/Genentech)
Nature 171, 737(April 2, 1953)
4The Biotech Pioneers
- Genentech - venture capitalist Robert Swanson and
biochemist Herbert Boyer, Ph.D. - Biogen - group of world-renowned scientists,
i.e., future Nobel Laureates Phillip Sharp, Ph.D.
from MIT and Walter Gilbert, Ph.D. from Harvard - Amgen - group of scientists/venture capitalists
first CEO former Abbott exec, George Rathmann,
Ph.D. - Immunex - businessman Stephen Duzan academic
researchers Steven Gillis, Ph.D. and Christopher
Henney, Ph.D., who keep fulltime jobs at Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Ctr while starting Immunex - Chiron - 3 profs who left biochem deptmts of Bay
Area's leading universities William Rutter,
Ph.D., Edward Penhoet, Ph.D., Pablo Valenzuela,
Ph.D.
5Contributions of Biotech
- 300 biotech drugs and vaccines currently in
clinical trials targeting 200 diseases (i.e.,
cancers, Alzheimers disease, heart disease,
diabetes, multiple sclerosis, AIDS and arthritis)
- gt240 approved biotech drugs and vaccines have
helped hundreds of millions of people worldwide - Nearly 40 new products and new indications
approved in 2005 - Responsible for 100s of medical diagnostics
(e.g., HIV tests, home pregnancy tests, HPV
tests) - DNA fingerprinting biotech process that
dramatically improved criminal investigation/
forensic medicine - and dont forget agricultural biotechnology
